Seasonal life cycle of the tropical cricket Eneoptera surinamensis (Orthoptera, Gryllidae, Eneopterinae)

Abstract: ABSTRACT. The life cycle and seasonal distribution of a tropical population of Eneoptera surinamensis (De Geer, 1773) were analyzed aiming to verify whether this species life cycle is associated to the wet and dry seasons. The population studied was found at the Seasonal Alluvial Semi-deciduous Forest, Foz de Iguaçu, PR, Brazil (25º27'54.9'' S; 54º34'27.9'' W), which presents mild mesothermal and super humid climate. Field observations were made at 20-to 24-day intervals, with the first observation occurring … Show more

“…Similarly, E. surinamensis also has a robust, strongly chitinized body and is not dependent on high humidity. This species probably absorbs water for metabolism from its diet, and its phenology is synchronized to seasonal water availability, remaining as nymphs (which are vulnerable to desiccation) during the rainy season and developing into adults in the dry season [55]. Similar adaptations may occur in Lerneca sp.1.…”

“…Alexander (1957) described the Various genera and species of Tettigoniidae and Gryllidae. Zefa et al (2006) erected the life cycle and wet and dry seasonal samplings from the tropical distribution of Eneoptera surinamensis (Orthoptera, Gryllidae, Eneopterinae) (De-Geer, 1773). Seasonal Alluvial Semi-deciduous Forest were studied at Brazil (25º27'54.9" S; 54º34'27.9" W), Field investigations were made at 20 to 24-day intervals, starting on April 30 th , 2002 to April 25 th , 2003.…”
